Anyone having problems with finding this episode in Podcast Apps? I'm using Podcast Republic for Android and the latest episode still shows up to be still 26.

Brian took his Guri/Talonbane/Serrisu list to our store championship last weekend and ended up taking 2nd place with it.

Same for me. Native iPhone podcast app doesn't show a new episode today.

Alex understand this better than I, but my understanding is that we just redirected the Team Covenant iTunes feed towards our new hosting provider today, and it takes 24-48 hours for it to stick.

Any chance anyone has a link to the videos from the tournament Sable played in, with the slowplaying TLT guy?

I'm not sure. I don't know if it was recorded and I'm not sure what the channel was. I also don't necessarily want to sic the entire internet on him by publishing his name and location.

Thought regarding Sable's dislike of the Mist Hunter:

I've never like B-wing aces because they're so **** slow. They are too easy to mob early and destroy before they can make use of their close-range squirreliness to dodge arcs and punish ships at close range. G1As have a couple things going for them to overcome this weakness. Minorly, they have white 3-banks. Majorly, they have access to Cloaking Device.

Imagine a ship with PTL, Advanced Sensors, and Cloaking Device (other stuff as you like). At the first stage of an engagement, you cloak. This gives you a big defense advantage against massed low quality attacks, the traditional enemy of b-wings. Next turn (or this turn if the cloak breaks), you perform your decloak, then AS/PTL actions. This should put you in the middle of an enemy formation, where some very strong maneuverability and close range firepower will be very advantageous. If you take 4-lom, you're handing that PTL stress off as well.

B-wings can't do this really in any way.

That gives you one maybe good B-Wing, as the Cloaking Device is unique. I'm sure someone somewhere will find a decent enough build for it, just like Ten Numb is decent enough with VI and Mangler, but it's never going to be a greatly effective ship without some help. Just because there's a decent build with Guri doesn't make the Star Viper not a dud.

Clobbered by you, the victor. As i noted in the battle report, expertly flown.

He was specifically discussing the aces there; in the basis that there's only two of them - and they make good crew buddies and have a unique title besides - I suspect we're OK with there only being one solid ace on the table at a time

The generics? Provided that the PS3 covers in at 23pts, it's going to be fine. Not as efficient (and thus spammable) as the B-wing, but with crew and systems, still a perfectly usable tech carrier when judiciously invested in.

Just looking at raw damage output, Long Range Scanners is better than Guidance Chips for Concussion Missiles and Homing Missiles, and Guidance Chips is better on Proton Torpedoes.

Some examples for hits+crits rolled after all the mods:

• Proton Torpedo + Deadeye + R4 + GC. 3.89 avg hits, 90% chance 4 hits.
• Homing Missile + LRS for stacking TL+F: 3.75 avg damage, 77.25% chance 4 hits.
• Concussion Missile + LRS for stacking TL+F: 3.68 avg hits, 73.8% chance 4 hits.
• Proton Torpedo + GC: 3.5 avg hits, 59.4% chance 4 hits.

The latter also has no way of getting a reliable lock on the target, and should see the least use once Imperial Veterans comes out.

We still don't know what Overcharged Agromech does.

So it will be an extremely consistent list matchup wise, at least until the meta changes enough to make what counters it common. What will give it trouble are PS 4+ Alpha lists, 8 TIEs, and perhaps a 2 ship Acewing lists built specifically around Alpha striking.

Assuming a Ghost has that "regen a shield when you take 3+ damage in one attack" systems upgrade, you could just nuke the thing that's not the Ghost, and then pump 4-6 damage into it a turn with your primaries.

The wave 7 approach to list building of just slapping together 2.5 aces may just disappear.

Also MajorJuggler, what are odds of 3 hits with a TL and Chips modified Flechette Torpedo? I'm thinking of running Flechettes instead of Extra Munitions on my triple U-Boats. Thinking I could use them just to drop 3 stress on a Fel or other ace early on.

Ooh, didn't realize you'd done a battle report for it. Been thinking about doing one of my own (mostly been too busy though). Off to find it...

Oh, I wasn't specifically looking for that player, just thinking they should have the entire tournament to watch.

Valen Rudor is definitely going to be my favourite unique pilot his wave. Something like this is hilarious:

31 Valen w/ PtL, PRockets, AT, v1.

The more you shoot him the more likely you're taking a TL+Focus PRocket to the face.

You could even do something like this to pad out your action bar:

31 Valen w/ Daredevil, PRockets, AT, v1.

Daredevil does NOT add anything to your Action Bar.

4lom/Agromech is surprisingly effective at hitting squishy targets.

Before I listen and get excited, did I get the English accents promised to me?

Heck no.... they didn't even mention it... they just distracted everyone with talk of the FFG Cargo Ship!

Really? that's very disappointing - after bemoaning no good uk podcasts they said they'd scratch my itch with some good English accents - I promised if they did that I'd listen to them as long as they were broadcasting...

So much for fan service...

MISTAKES WERE MADE!

I pride myself on our fan engagement, we always cover fan lists. I will have a horrible accent for a period at some point next podcast.

Fun episode,i just wish you had talked a bit more about new wave8 lists (not just ships) as the title suggests. But its no big deal, im sure this will be covered in future episodes.

Indeed! Send us your fave new list and we might cover it on the next episode.

I'm at the moment trying to figure out what I like running the most with 2 37point Jumpmaster torpedo boats.

At the moment I like dual z95, In the end I want something that I don't mind being destroyed.
